Actually did some work working at Habitat today. Corner boards and diagonal supports for the soffits on the porch to be covered with vinyl siding-LOL:gar-La;

It's been a while since you filled us in on the progress of your shop build. Starting to go through withdrawal.
BTW, when is the next build party at your place? I promise to bring a tool belt next time. (and maybe one for Bas) :gar-La;

Friends...
These are from October 2010 and October 2011. I like the 2011 better. I started the new me in January this year. This is about 75 lbs difference. Only 50 more to go
This is an update to a previous post. This may not be the best way of updating, so please excuse any posting protocol issues.
Attached is a drawing of the measurements taken on my jointer tables with a 4' Veritas straight edge. I still don't know if the discrepancies I'm seeing are enough to...
UPDATE: We did not get down as low as expected. Temp here at home at 8:00 AM was 52 degrees and they are still predicting a high of only 63. Temps during most of the picnic should be around 60. We can also expect moderate breezes of around 13 mph.
See you all there!
I forgot to post the updates for this Raven carving so I decided to show the current status. I still have work to do but have been letting it percolate to figure out just how far to carry the details on the wing etc. I like the look of it now and just may leave it that way. What do you folks...
The class is now full.
Basic Relief Carving Class
I’m going to host the Triangle Area Basic Relief Carving class to be taught by Stave (Mark Strom) that was discussed last week in another thread. Mark and I have settled on...
For those of you whom have already donated and notice that the barometer hasn't registered your contribution, it's a little issue I'm trying to work out and by tomorrow it will be corrected:eusa_doh:
I feel pretty confident we have received your donation by the accounting I'm receiving from...
Okay, all you ridge-runners out west, I got us a place for a picnic. It's the Dogwood shelter at the James Crowe Memorial Park, 292 Cherry Mountain Rd., Forest City.Callison Recreation Center on Clay Street in Forest City. Date is 10/1 from 10 AM - 3 PM. This isn't planned to be as 'formal'...
Most of the lumber I had was taken to a High School in Davidson. I still have some nice stuff for sale though. I still have some 4/4 Poplar in 5' lengths, and some gorgeous 5/4 red oak in 5' lengths. This is nice straight, flat, kiln dried wood, in 5' lengths. Widths vary from 5" to 10"...
I still have a long way to go, but the new place is much better than the old was. Every time I bring more stuff down from the farm I have to completely reorganize to make room for it. I'm feeling the squeeze now.
Soon I will have the cabinets that Bill is making for me. I really need to...
Proposed changes highlighted in red below. The prohibition for commercial/ non woodworking advertisements would extend to the Classifieds, Forums, Download Library, Photo Gallery, Personal Messages etc.

It has been a while sense I have posted in here so here is an update. I am in the process of drawing the Hazen in 3d with a computer program. this way I can see any mistakes before I make them in the construction process. I went to a company that builds plantation shutters and purchased the...
The order has been placed. When I placed it, I found out that they had 2 more of the 24" so I bought them. So these are available. Also, I was able to get another $1 off on each clamp. Contact me by PM only for additional quantities or new requests. So, I have 2 - 24" available at $32 each. and...
After taking a closer look at the Incra 1000SE miter gauge I decided to try to get it working on the G0623X.
I started by taking the miter bar off of the Incra. Pretty simple with four points of connection. I then took the aluminum t-bar off of the G0623X miter gauge. That only required...
Where I last left off, http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39312, I had made a treadle and attached it to the crank wheel I was using to drive the shaft. Now, I have mounted the spindle and turned a wooden pulley, rounding it out in place on the spindle. I also knocked out a...
Thanks, to all of you who advised me about how to spec out a new sawstop. I picked up mine today in Winston. I started out thinking that the basic contractors model would fill the bill. But with your advice, and a large dose of rationalizing, I came home with a 3hp pro cabinet model. Sawstop has...
I finally got the neck feathers done. Just a ton of skew chisel work followed by even more work to get clean cuts. I then went over all the neck feathers with a small #11 gouge or "U" shaped tool followed by a white stone in the foredom to carry the cuts to the end of the feathers. Will...
